Default 2016 ZO6 White letter tires?



Hopefully the picture will pop in.

I did it to fill the "black hole", the calipers needed some help. What do you think?

Big fad right now and I don't know how long it will last. I personally like it though.

Red letters may look better, less standing out more sinisterly

Did you color the letters in yourself? I saw a link some where around here for what people are using to color the lettering but don't remember where.

One of the great things about cars, spouses, and houses is that we get to pick what we want. Wouldn't be my choice, but it's only important whether you like it.

I think it looks pretty cool. I would grab some black lugnuts though.

They're from "Tred Wear".

The way the tires wear, I won't be to tired of looking at them by the time I have to buy new tires.

I'm on the fence...Kinda like it but think it may be a little busy? Gotta keep looking at it. It does not look bad though.

Man when I saw the title I thought oh no!!!! BUT not bad!! I'm not going to rush out and do it although back in the 70s it was the fad then they started mounting white letters inside the rims and black walls ruled.

I think if you put on black lugs it would be better. One less color going on. Generally I dont thing the chrome lugs stick out that much but with your white letters I think they need changed.

BTW...... Mcguards on Amazon $75.... they even have used or returned with minor defects a lot cheaper...... but did not have enough when I ordered.

Will it stay white for a while? What happens if it gets dirty?

I like it though.
